Dental or teeth whitening kits are easy to find at your local drugstore and supermarket. These kits vary in size and function. Some of the products that are available in a dental whitening kit include gels, strips, trays, bleaches and so on. While some dental whitening kits only consist of peroxy, others contain carbamide or hydrogen peroxy while others may only have a bleaching agent such as carbamide peroxy or a bleaching gel. Dental whitening kits that are applied using gels have a higher concentration of peroxy and cause a more drastic whitening effect than those applied using a strip, tray or bleaching agent.

The best teeth whitening kits include at least one of each of the following items: a mouthpiece that fits over the entire lower jaw, a whitening gel with a maximum strength concentration of 35 percent carbamide peroxy, an LED light device with a sensor similar to those used in arc lamps, a pre-soaked fiber cloth, and a whitening agent such as hydrogen peroxy or carbamide peroxy. The mouthpiece is essential as it creates a barrier that helps to hold the whitener in place. A whitening gel with a high concentration of carbamide peroxy is required in order to achieve a whitening effect similar to that achieved from a professional cosmetic dental procedure. A LED light device provides a much more convenient way to apply the gel. It can be used while you are asleep and will provide results immediately. Pre-sodded fiber cloths are needed as they allow the whitening gel to be properly applied.

All of these items work together to whiten your teeth after four to six weeks of daily application. The LED light whitening works by exposing a special chemical reaction to the peroxy in the gel. This reaction breaks down the bacteria that are living in plaque on your teeth and gums. The breakdown of the bacteria releases oxygen into your mouth, which kills off any excess bacteria that remain in your mouth.

If you are looking for a way to get whiter teeth in a hurry, you may want to consider xylitol gum. Xylitol, or xylitol gum, contains xylitol, a natural item found in nature. The gums are safe to use and will not cause any harm to your gums or teeth. You can even buy xylitol mints that will deliver the maximum benefit to whiten your teeth. In addition to whitening your teeth, xylitol gum will also help to get rid of the stains caused by plaque.


Choosing a Dental Whitening Kit

Next, the dental whitening kit includes a variety of toothpastes. You will need to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouthwash or breath mint. Once you have finished brushing your teeth, you will need to apply a layer of coconut oil to your teeth. Using a brush, gently brush the coconut oil into your mouth, allowing it to soak into your mouth and bond with the plaque on your teeth. When you brush your teeth with a toothpaste or rinse with mouthwash, the oil will be absorbed into your mouth.

Once you have cleaned your mouth thoroughly using toothpaste or rinse, you will next need to apply a layer of toothpastes. Toothpastes are used to prevent the onset of tooth decay by removing surface stains. However, toothpastes do not remove tartar, which is actually a mineral build-up that occurs inside of your teeth. This type of build up can become quite hard and needs to be removed from your teeth before it causes any problems. Using a toothbrush, brush in a circular motion around your teeth, being careful to brush away any tooth enamel that comes off during this process. Be sure to brush in a circular motion and don't forget to rinse your mouth and tongue afterwards.

Dental whitening strips are a great alternative to toothpastes. These dental whitening strips work by applying a bleaching agent directly to the teeth, causing them to become whiter in color. While these strips are fairly effective, they can irritate the gums if they are used incorrectly and can sometimes cause sensitivity or pain in the mouth. Before you begin using the whitening strips, talk to your dentist to be sure that the treatment is right for you.

If you don't want to have your teeth bleached, there are a few other methods that can also brighten your teeth. These methods include bleaching trays, which contain gel tabs that hold the whitening agent in place for a certain period of time while you brush your teeth. Also, you may want to try a whitening paste, which contains a special bleach-water mixture that will penetrate into the pores and work from the inside out. These home remedies work well but can take a little time and can also cause irritation to sensitive teeth. In addition, the kits and strips are much more affordable than seeing a dentist for professional whitening.
